Seven Hazes

A nice wrap up Emeraldo of a great grow! Interesting how bud changes as it cures.

I recently read of some folk using some sort of freeze dryers to dry their fresh harvest bud in just a day ready for jarring, the buds retained all their 'fresh' colour and lots more terpenes, but broke up like cured bud. It looked excellent but I understood there is a bit of cost to those sort of dryers.

Good luck on the seeds, mine were only 16 days old which did surprise me that they germinated. Great grow!

...I have found green, pale and even immature looking seeds to be viable the first year. They don't age as well.

If maybe in a year or two the greenies might not sprout, that would indicate maybe I should just try to germinate all the seeds I got off SLH#2 and select the most vigorous seedlings for this continuing experiment.

Here is what my "greenies" -- SLH#2 x Michka -- look like:

And here are the mix of two colours I got from SLH#1 (the darker brown are, I suspect, SLH x Super Malawi Haze:

Any comments on viability of these would be welcome!

Cheers

Of the 4-5 immature Mulanje seeds I tried to germinate, I think only 1 failed, and your's in comparison have some considerably darker seeds amongst them, so I would imagine that you'd still potentially germinate quite few even if you only did half them.

Thanks @Stunger. As I recall, the SLH#2 x Michka seeds were pollinated around September 5 and were harvested off the plant on October 28, giving them a good 7 weeks, almost 8 weeks, to mature. I'll be getting started here in a month or so with germination, so we will soon find out about their viability! Cheers and thanks

The lemon Tree I grew made my heart pound and my thoughts race. It was uncomfortably strong. A few months later it was smooth with a long great high. A favorite! Crazy how time mellows the buzz. I have a little saved.

@stinker that looks like a nice Barney's strain, Lemon Tree. Also a Lemon Skunk hybrid, like SLH.

Yes, it is amazing what a good cure does, smoothing. On the other hand I've always enjoyed the super hyper neurological rush fresh cannabis can give right after harvest. That "roller-coaster ride" that makes me almost lose my balance while seated on the sofa! I just close my eyes and trust that I'm not really falling off a cliff...

Barney's G13 x Haze grown in California did that roller coaster thing right after harvest, tingling down the spine and up into the brain. I liked the lemon aroma and zesty flavour so much I grew it a second time.

The cliff edge / roller coaster effect does fade during cure, and tbh I don't know if I'd want to get the roller coaster every time I smoked. But I do look forward to that hyper-effect every year, sort of a limited-time, seasonal effect. Like Christmas cookies!
